//////////////////////////////////////
RE:COMBO RADIO: checking the re:combination
//////////////////////////////////////
*1.44 Mbytes visual and/or sonic noises are invited for the following
experience:*
You are invited to participate in _Checking the Re:combination_, a
multimedia project of collaborative sound + vision production, that will
come to an end with a 3-night experience in the production and
recombination of social, moral, and political issues in a wired world.The
experience will be developed in an alternative format: the sounds and
pictures that will be used in the intervention will be collected through
the internet. You can collaborate just sending your movie clips, images or
sound files attached by e-mail to: recombo@manguebit.org.br; texts articles
or questions can be send from the website (www.manguebit.org.br/recombo).
All the collected material will be collected an recombined during the 3
days long Abril Pro Rock Festival (www.abrilprorock.com.br), when the
audience physically present will intervene in the installation. Texts
produced for the event and chat rooms will be available at the website. The
main goal is to develop a democratic and decentralized participation of all
rather than the usual one-speaks-for-all.
The live on-site experience will be held at Pernambuco Convention Center,
Recife, BRAZIL, during the "Abril Pro Rock Festival", April 19-21, 2002.
_CHECKING THE RE:COMBINATION_ is an experience developed by the musical
collaborative group RE:COMBO (www.manguebit.org.br/recombo) and the
graffiti artists group SUBGRAF (www.manguebit.org.br/subgraf), with the
collaboration of LUCIANO MEIRA, Ph.D., professor of Psychology at the
Federal University of Pernambuco (www.ufpe.br)

mark@rhizome.org - http://rhizome.org/fresh/
"Rhizome, Net Art tendencies"
Executive director of Rhizome.org, a nonprofit art organization that
acts as a kind of a community platform to present new media art, to
establish a critical dialogue about new media art and provides access
to new media art through an archive. Most of the programs are online:
Rhizome has a e-mail listserv, which has become quite popular, with
discussions and announcements. Also there is a big online database of
critical writing, with over 1500 articles which are all indexed.
Rhizome is starting to archive art works as well and is also doing
events where net artists show their work and talk about it.Rhizome
produces two free email services which distribute information
provided by and for the Internet community: Rhizome Raw (unfiltered)
and Rhizome Digest (edited) both containing announcements of new
media art projects, events, festivals, conferences and exhibitions,
press releases, calls for work, reviews of new media art projects,
interviews with new media artists and commentary on related issues.
Raw is rather important because it's this kind of unfiltered,
unmoderated new media discussion thing, and there are around 350,
kind of hard core subscribers. The Digest is for everybody else who
is too busy to read 40-50 emails a day from the Raw, it is filtered
in the Rhizome TextBase, a searchable library of over 1500 articles.
You can do a search on gender or interactivity, person reality or
flash and you will come up with articles and also artworks.

"Shadow Garden"
Theme:interactive installation art "Shadow Garden", "interactive
mini-theatre" game-like set of pieceinspired by experimental
psychology, especially the infamous experiments of Stanly Milgram.
"I've been programming computers since I was 10. I dropped out of
high-school when I was 17. I was the Director of Technology and later
a Research Fellow for the PC game company Origin/Electronic Arts. I
then founded my own game company called Titanic (which sunk after its
first voyage) where I co-created an distributed-server Internet game
called "Netstorm". Since then I have been producing interactive
installation art in various forms such as a collaboration with the
Spanish theatre company "La Fura dels Baus". My pieces have shown in
various galleries in Europe and the US and will soon open into the
permanent collection at the San Jose Tech Museum. I have written,
lectured, and consulted extensively on many aspects of interactivity
from game design to programming".

of Knowledge) with Michel Authier.
Lévy is also interested in collective intelligence studied an
anthropological context: Collective intelligence is an intelligence
which is distributed everywhere, continuously valorised, co-ordinated
and mobilised in real-time; it ischaracterised by democracy in
real-time, an inventive aesthetics and an economy of human qualities;
it is multi-dimensional and multi-sensual, linked to the body and to
the earth; it is concerned with re-materialisation, not
de-materialisation. Most of his work has not yet been translated.
Major Publications:
"L'Intelligence Collective: Pour une Anthropologie du Cyberspace"
(Paris: Editions La Découverte, 1994), "La Machine Universe" (1992),
"Les Technologies de l'Intelligence" (1990).

Peace gets buried

AN ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN PEACE COALITION
The do-it-ourselves solution
by YASSER ABED RABBO and YOSSI BEILIN
For the founders of the Israeli-Palestinian Peace
Coalition, there is a possible way out of the present
murderous impasse in the region: a return to the
agreement drawn up at Taba in January 2001. Two of those
who drew it up, one Israeli and one Palestinian, propose
an alternative way forward.

MILOSEVIC IN THE DOCK
The Balkans show trial *
by our special correspondent CATHERINE SAMARY
Yugoslavia's former president, Slobodan Milosevic, has
regained some popularity since the start of his trial for
war crimes. The contradictions are now becoming apparent
in the approach and remit of the International Criminal
Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. And the role of the
West in the break-up of that country is being publicly
questioned.
Translated by Malcolm Greenwood
The case for the war crimes tribunal *
by XAVIER BOUGAREL
The Hague trial of Milosevic is necessary but reveals the
limits of such proceedings, since the court does not
operate in isolation from historical events and is not
immune to local and world political power struggles.

US breaks the laws of war
by OLIVIER AUDEOUD
The United States has invented a new category of captive,
not covered by the Geneva Convention: 'unlawful
combatants'. And it has made sure that nobody can
question this unilateral designation by holding the
prisoners taken in Afghanistan in the
no-nation's-territory of the Guantanamo base on Cuba.
What, legally, is going on?

REUNITING A DIVIDED ISLAND
Cyprus, north and south
by our special correspondent NIELS KADRITZKE
Final negotiations about the future of Cyprus began this
year; it has been divided since 1974. Cyprus is a
contender for EU membership, but to get in, Greeks and
Turks will have to agree on its status, and Ankara will
have to approve. Brussels has promised substantial
funding for the Turkish north.

THE OTHER 'ANTI-TERRORIST' WAR
Chechnya: Russia, get out now *
by VICKEN CHETERIAN
Moscow is still stuck in the Chechen quagmire, despite
all its claims that it is dealing with the 'terrorism'.
Russian army atrocities have failed to crush resistance,
Chechens no longer collaborate; both sides will have to
return to negotiating a settlement, and better sooner
than later.

Chronology of two conflicts *

THE BERLUSCONI EFFECT
High price of Italian prosperity *
by PIERRE MUSSO
Two million people took to the streets of Rome last month
to protest against terrorism, against economist Marco
Biagi's assassination and against Sylvio Berlusconi's
government. Behind the protest and beyond the politics,
Italian capitalism is being profoundly restructured.
Translated by Luke Sandford
Silence of the leopards *
by VALERIO EVANGELISTI
Translated by Luke Sandford
WE DIDN'T VOTE FOR LIBERALISING UTILITIES, DID WE?
Europe: market not community *
by BERNARD CASSEN
The European Union's decision-taking bypasses Europeans
and their elected representatives to impose on them
neo-liberal, anti-social economic policies, all in the
name of Europe. The EU regularly overrides democracy for
the benefit of private wealth and influence.
Translated by Malcolm Greenwood
HOW TIANANMEN PROTESTS LED TO THE NEW MARKET ECONOMY
China: unequal shares *
by WANG HUI
The crushing of the 1989 social movement in Tiananmen
Square was a turning point in Chinese history. The
movement was far bigger than the liberal, student protest
we all saw before the world's news cameras; it extended
right across the people. The destruction of the movement
unblocked China's transition to the market economy, but
the state system remained fundamentally authoritarian and
inequalities have grown.

NAZIM HIKMET: CENTENARY OF A GREAT POET
The tree with blue eyes *
by JOHN BERGER
Nazim Hikmet, one of the greatest poets of the 20th
century, Turkish, a communist, was born 100 years ago.
His work is about the universal nature of love and the
fraternity of beauty; he was one of those rare people who
matched his actions with words.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness (PEHW)

Please be advised that the due date has been changed to May 15.
Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness publishes scholarly and
creative work, personal reflections, and practitioners' accounts
relating to classifying, defining, and probing different aspects of
evil. It aims to shed light on the genesis and manifestations of evil as
well as on the diverse angles from which humans can understand, tackle,
surmount, or come to terms with it. Perspectives on Evil and Human
Wickedness does not espouse any ideological viewpoint or favor any
specific theoretical framework, but interrogates a plurality of
perspectives aimed at advancing research on this topic.
Submissions are sought for the July 2002 volume to be devoted entirely
to the theme of terrorism. The volume hopes to present a panoply of
possible angles from which to engage this topic. A wide array of
relevant theoretical, critical and professional perspectives is,
therefore, encouraged. Of most interest will be contributions that add
to, alter and/or deepen, our current understanding of the phenomenon of
terrorism.
Topics may include:
Labels and Definition(s)
Binary thinking and cultural stereotypes in the discourse on terrorism
Manichean visions of good and evil
Clash of civilizations scenarios
Leitmotifs, imagery and rhetoric in the political discourse on terrorism
Globalized terror
Jihad and Islamic fundamentalism
Terrorism and Late Capitalism
Gendering terrorism
Cyber terrorism
Virtual terrorism in film
